python - Converting a RGB color tuple to a six digit code

Question

I need to convert (0, 128, 64) to something like this "#008040". I'm not sure what to call the latter, making searching difficult.

Answer 1

Use the format operator %:

>>> '#%02x%02x%02x' % (0, 128, 64)
'#008040'

Note that it won't check bounds...

>>> '#%02x%02x%02x' % (0, -1, 9999)
'#00-1270f'
